Notable quotes

“We, the disinherited of this land, we who have been oppressed so long, are tired of going through the long night of captivity. And now we are reaching out for the daybreak of freedom and justice and equality.”
— Montgomery Bus Boycott speech, at Holt Street Baptist Church (5 December 1955)
“In the struggle for human rights and justice, Negros will make a mistake if they become bitter and indulge in hate campaigns.”
— Speech delivered in Finney Chapel at Oberlin College (7 February 1957), as reported in "When MLK came to Oberlin" by Cindy Leise (The Chronicle-Telegram; January 21, 2008)
“Let us therefore continue our triumphal march to the realization of the American dream.... for all of us today, the battle is in our hands... The road ahead is not altogether a smooth one. There are no broad highways that lead us easily and inevitably to quick solutions... We are still in for the season of suffering... How long? Not long. Because no lie can live forever... our God is marching on.”
— Speech on the steps of the State Capitol Building, Montgomery, Alabama (25 March 1965), as transcribed from a tape recording; reported in Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations (1989), which states that this speech was not reported in its entirety.
“We know of no more crucial civil rights issue facing Congress today than the need to increase the federal minimum wage and extend its coverage.”
— Statement on minimum wage legislation (18 March 1966), as quoted in Now Is the Time. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Labor in the South: The Case for a Coalition (January 1986)
“The greatness of our God lies in the fact that He is both toughminded and tenderhearted.”
— Ch. 1 : A tough mind and a tender heart
“Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.”
— Last paragraph of section III of Antidotes for fear, page 122 (see link at top of the section)
